I guess this is the one that showed up in TRU's computers a few weeks back... What a shame. I was hoping for a 3 3/4" set with a distillery, not two of the biggest 6" pegwarmers. I do think the packaging looks good, but what a horrible choice of figures.

I truly don't understand Hasbro's thinking that Greedo is an A-list character. This line is supposed to be only the cream of the crop in character choices, and then they put out Greedo and are surprised this happens.

This set however is just a really terrible call, nobody needs to work to find these figures, they are pegwarming at every Target, and once TRU moves more stock they'll probably get that wave in to pegwarm as well. I suppose they wanted to show off how cool their new figures are in iconic scenes, but using big ugly insert trays on top of cardboard set pieces is a sign that they have no idea how to market this line, and are just repeating the 3.75" line's choices. Wait a year, then release this set when these figures are not on shelves anymore, and MAYBE you'll have a chance at selling a few. But this is a wreck.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

With this line, every figure should be an exclusive. Base it on the 1997 (?) 12" offerings, but throw in safeguards so all stores got a range of superhot and not superhot characters, with all stores getting enough to meet demand and requiring them to make them available online. And put a handy "road map" of what store has what online, and maybe put BBTS or Entertainment Earth as shared partners do everyone can get every figure they want.

This set is going to be sold at EE's SDCC booth. I'm going to laugh if I see anyone purchasing it!

So I guess this is a shared TRU/EE exclusive that will be sold on TRU's site after the show as well. I guess that's the best way to sell something like this that nobody wants – make it as rare as you possibly can!

This is actually very smart, this went from being an embarrassing piece of crap to being a wise choice - there was no way regular collectors would buy this pegwarmer 2-pack, but Comic-Con is a venue for more than just us die-hards, and this will get rid of the set by selling to the casual fans and the speculators. And who knows, maybe it'll draw in a few more collectors to this brand.

That said, NO WAY IN HELL AM I BUYING IT!
